2013 Convention Call for Proposals

The OPA Convention is an annual, three day event combining networking, continuing education, academic-related and OPA membership events. The Convention takes place each fall and typically attracts over 300 psychologist attendees, reputed speakers and presenters, student poster presenters, exhibitors, sponsors, award winners and guests. The 2013 Convention will be held Oct. 30 – Nov. 1, 2013, at the Quest Conference Center in Columbus.

The Ohio Psychological Association invites program proposals for the 2013 Annual Convention. This year’s Convention theme is “Psychology’s Role in Integrated Health Care.” Workshop proposals must be submitted by May 15, 2013 for consideration.

OPA is committed to diversity and multiculturalism; we advocate proposals that reflect awareness of these issues. Presenters are asked to explain how their workshop addresses and/or integrates diversity issues into the topic. OPA also supports programs that allow for the interaction of participants and address cutting edge research or created discussion or thought. Please review the proposed presenter standards before submitting a proposal.

Presenters will be notified no later than June 14, 2013 of their proposal acceptance. In submitting a proposal, presenters accept responsibility for the time scheduled for their presentation and agree that they will meet all set deadlines.
